Is this one of the most profound and insightful statements ever made on GWS?
A very wise poster on here gave the following breakdown of what is important to each sex (in desiring the other)
Women want this in a guy:
1. Smart / Possessing a high IQ;
2. Financially independent;
3. In control, powerful and influential.
4. Great sense of humor
Men want in a woman:
1. Physically desirable (along a wide spectrum of preferences, to be sure) and interested in sex
2. Emotionally stable / predictable
3. Shows that she appreciates him in a variety of ways / doesn't nag or manipulate him
"Understanding the opposite sex requires stepping into their shoes for a few miles. Objectivity and observation without judgment."
Do you agree? And if so, what does this suggest about inter sexual relationships?
Bluebeard - I agree physical attractiveness is high on the list for women under 30, but I do not agree at all with whay you said about men wanting financial independence from women or that intelligence is majorly important - not being an idiot, yes. But that is very different then being a rocket scientist.
Anna K - I want to know what YOU look for in a man...you seem like the perfect woman.

No. Oh, perhaps it could be. But I am only disappointed that you did not quote one of my many profound and insightful statements instead. Not my year I guess. Happy Yule.

whilst we've been approximately 19 or so, my better half had a chum who had leukemia. Leaving the well being middle after our very very final bypass to with this attractive woman, I remarked that she grew to become remarkably even-tempered and at peace with herself. My better half idly mused that it did look very lots so, and questioned, "How does a guy or woman make herself 'waiting to die'?" I spoke back: "a guy or woman is in a position to die whilst she has lived long adequate." After a pause, my better half recognized at me and reported, "gray, it fairly is the two the stupidest element you have ever reported, or the main staggering assessment of the human situation I unquestionably have ever heard." That replace has achieved better powerful than different to tell the path of my existence, a seek for to locate in spite of if i'm stupid or staggering.

dunno but my list is
1) good looking (that is essential for me. I cant go out with anyone I am not really attracted to and I do put a lot of emphasis on looks. call me shallow or whatever i dont care its how i feel)
2) good mate and has a laugh
3) likes kids, kind
4) bit of a chav, good dress sense
5) really laid back
6) high sex drive
I dont want to go out with someone really clever cause they are the boring geeks. Nothing wrong with that if you like that type of thing but not very exciting.My husband is skint and not really brainy but is good looking and has a big one and if that makes me shallow shoot me lol but i know what i like. I am not bothered what job he has as long as he likes babies, sex and having a laugh on the weekend.
Source(s): my husband. my perfect man :) I dont really rate anything you have put on your list except the sense of humour thing. - Anonymous1 decade ago
For the majority, this MIGHT be true.
But our taste change with time and space. And in practise, this might not be possible nowadays.
Starting with Women wants in a guy:
1. Smart / Possessing a high IQ;
2. Financially independent;
3. In control, powerful and influential.
4. Great sense of humor.
A man with such quality, would be likely to aware of All the treacherous feminist laws nowadays, he would highly distrust a dumb women (since she may believe in feminist agendas to attack him)
,thus these conditions (of Men want in a woman):
1. Physically desirable (along a wide spectrum of preferences, to be sure) and interested in sex
2. Emotionally stable / predictable
3. Shows that she appreciates him in a variety of ways / doesn't nag or manipulate him
may NOT be found in a dumb/ average woman (who was exposed to femnazi prop.)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Vice Versa, a woman with all the above requirements may not smart enough, thus, feel that a Nerd is boring & watchful. Thus she won't stick around long with Nerds, & settle to breed with morons/ thugs.
The advent of FEMINIST REVOLUTION has changed the foundation of human mating selection to the degree of unrecognizable.

I can't speak for men, but as a woman I know that most women want all 7 characteristics for both genders in a man. I think you are naive if you believe physical desirability is not important to women, not even important enough to put on your list of what women want in a man. I believe that financial independence and intelligence is important to men, too. A hot dumb chick who can't take care of herself is a liability waiting to happen. Having a charming personality and a sense of humor is important to men too in my experience. A lot of men are also attracted to women who are assertive (not bitchy or bossy), motivated and in control of their life.

Very sound logic behind this hypothesis. As for your follow-up question, perhaps this helps to explain the extraordinary promiscuity amongst the homosexual community--everyone is perfect for everyone!

I agree. But it is not hard for a man to step into the shoes of a female, all they have to do is take away all forms of rationalization, and accountability.
